ALL NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN FIFA MANAGER 12
OFFLINEYour Feature!
This is the list of features suggested by the community which won user polls on www.fifa-manager.com and were subsequently added to the game:
Display the training progress on the Player Info screen
Option to take your shortlist with you to your new club
Option to apply for hosting European Cup finals in your stadium
Underpaid players now complain (this includes a new option to increase a player’s salary via the context menu)
Additional line-up information panel: Experience (When will the players reach their next experience level?)
Option to build a completely new stadium
Last 24 hours of the transfer market reworked (see chapter “Transfer Market”)
Instant Calculation screen reworked (single and multiplayer, flexible speed added)
Pre-match Speeches (more than 40 different speeches, up to 9 available before the match, speeches cost speech points, manager level determines the maximum number of available speech points); evaluation of the speech after the match, display whether the speech worked well or not. This feature is optional and can be switched off.
More flexible international prestige (important for smaller countries)
Transfer multipliers linked to 5-years-assessment
Lactate test: In pre-season it is now possible to do a lactate test with the team. This leads to a reevaluation of the players’ fitness values. Character traits of the players play an important role.
Trial Day: 100 part time footballers come to your club for a trial day. You can then select the exercises and their duration. At the end some players will “survive” and you get a report by your assistants. The precision of their reports depends on the duration of the exercises and on your assistants’ skills. This is an especially interesting option for clubs in lower leagues.
Manager Tasks: The manager gets frequent challenges to solve to win points for the next manager level. The tasks start simple (sometimes you just have to use a certain feature of the game) and become more and more tricky. The current task is always displayed on the in-game mobile. 40 challenges are available right at the start, after every solved task a new one becomes available. This feature is optional and you can skip any task you do not like.

Player Skills
Individual skills of every player visible (every skill point has an effect on the distribution between bad, average, good and very good actions)
Form of the Day: It is no longer possible to play the game just “by the numbers“, because now a player can play better or worse, depending on his form on a particular day (which is hidden). This means you must watch the 3D match closely to spot over- or underperforming players.
User Interface 3D Match
Full control and a perfect overview on all options with the all-new radial menu system

GUI / User Features
Squad Analysis: This feature replaces the current option to show weak positions on the Contracts screen. It must be commissioned, which takes about a week in the game, and then offers a detailed analysis on weak positions in the team, running out contracts, important and less important players, and hot prospects (for two different formations). The feature includes a direct link from the weak positions to the Transfer List and the Scouting section

Number of transfers selectable for the first season (no transfers, 20% of the normal transfers, no transfer restrictions) => pre-selected are 20% because the transfers from real-life are already part of the database, therefore the clubs have not much money left over
Clubs try to sell players when their contracts are running out and the players do not want to extend it
Player presentation: It is now possible to present new signings either on the website, with a press conference or in the stadium. Depending on the level of the player and the size of the club there are different expectations and effects.

Improved logic for the movement of players between the 1st team and the Reserves
Improved AI for giving contracts to own youth players
New selection logic which clubs a player wants to move to
Hot prospects are signed earlier, clubs plan long-term for the future
Clubs more often reject transfers, if there is no reasonable replacement available in the team or on the transfer market
Previous silverware has a bigger influence on the players‘ club evaluation
Last 24 Hours
Option to continue unfinished negotiations on the final day to a reach a last-minute agreement. Additional offers to buy/sell players.
Real live negotiations on the final day. The AI and the manager can increase or decrease their offers and demands every 15 minutes. All negotiations take place simultaneously and the clock ticks. This is not for the faint hearted.

There are basically no players with a level of 99 anymore, only a few reach a level above 90, this is still the case 50 years into the game

Improved talent distribution
No small central defenders or goalkeepers in the top leagues
Skills fit better to the player type, e.g. a dribbler won’t be taller than 1,85 metres and for others you need a certain acceleration/speed or high work-rate
